The Lone Ranger he isn't


Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose - She's a big 'un!

Work well done


He'll get his revenge later...


Reminds me of my youth, when my sis and I would annoy our parents by doing this every chance we got, always in public.  But then again, everyone was a little more up tight in those days.

Take this with a grain of salt for now, but I so hope it is true

Just as email-gate looked to be winding down, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned a person claiming to be a computer specialist has come forward with the stunning news that 32,000 emails from HillaryClinton‘s private email account are up for sale. The price tag — a whopping $500,000!
Promising to give the trove of the former Secretary of State’s emails to the highest bidder, the specialist is showing subject lines as proof of what appear to be legitimate messages.
“Hillary or someone from her camp erased the outbox containing her emails, but forgot to erase the emails that were in her sent box,” an insider reveals to Radar of the Presidential contender’s latest nightmare.
Let's hope they all come out for the entertainment value of the political corruption they would undoubtably reveal.  Whether Hillary! goes to jail or not remains to be seen, but if this is true then the odds go up substantially.  

It's Thursday! Tomorrow's Friday!

Your good news of the day: there are 7.5 times more trees on the planet than previously believed.

 There are slightly more than three trillion trees in the world, a figure that dwarfs previous estimates, according to the most comprehensive census yet of global forestation.

Using satellite imagery as well as ground-based measurements from around the world, a team led by researchers at Yale University created the first globally comprehensive map of tree density. Their findings were published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.

A previous study that drew on satellite imagery estimated that the total number of trees was about 400 billion. The new estimate of 3.04 trillion is multiple times that number, bringing the ratio of trees per person to 422 to 1.

So, if you like trees as well as most of us do, this is good news indeed. I think I'll go chop up some firewood...

Darwin award, with special points for the hair fire


Epic fail


War is inevitable

Remember this now that the Democrats have voted to allow the Iranians to have nuclear weapons.

Now we will clearly know who is to blame once the mushroom clouds rise.

34 Senators have publicly backed the , ensuring its implementation. Say thank you!

Scientific explanation for the vapor cones that sometimes dramatically surround jets


Vapor cones typically appear around aircraft flying in the transonic regime–near, but still below, the speed of sound. Air moving over the vehicle accelerates and decelerates as it moves around different parts of the plane; if it didn’t, the plane couldn’t generate lift and wouldn’t fly. When the local flow accelerates past the speed of sound, the accompanying drop in pressure and temperature can be enough to for conditions to fall below the dew point, causing the condensation we see. At the back of the airplane, a shock wave decelerates the airflow back to subsonic speeds and raises local conditions back above the dew point, thereby truncating the cone. (Image credit: C. Caine)
